PSG in 2023 And there it was an enormous repercussion, because in those days, moreover, the boss culé had revealed that he felt indebted to Rosario.
Given that the name of the Argentine champion has circulated so much in Barcelona, the questions to Xavi in the first press conference after the rumors were destined to find out if what was said was true. “Leo has a contract and it’s impossible. It makes no sense now to talk about Messi, “said DT Culé, calming the waters. But now, in another round, the Spaniard stated that he would like the 10 to return …

Xavi’s intention is clear: he wants to have Messi on his team. And his statement, at the same time, is a reference to the fact that Laporta should make an attempt to bring Rosario back.

May it have a much more splendid ending than it was“Laporta said on ESPN.
And he admitted that he was indebted to the Argentine star: “Yes. Morally yes. As president of Barsa, I think I did what I had to do. But as president of Barsa and also on a personal level, I think I owe it to him“.
